Video Hot Seat Talk: Shane Beamer or Mike Norvell OutKick's Austin Perry discusses two hot seat candidates for the 2026 college football season.
The Wisconsin Badgers will be rocking some awesome alternate uniforms this season against Notre Dame.
It's not a secret that I'm a Wisconsin man, and it's been some VERY dark years for the program in Madison. What was once a proud Big Ten powerhouse has turned into a sad shell of itself under Luke Fickell's leadership.
It certainly feels like 2026 is a make-or-break year for Fickell after he's compiled a 17-21 record with the Badgers since being hired.
WISCONSIN BADGERS JUST ADDED THE PERFECT JERSEY SPONSORSHIP IF THERE IS SUCH A THING
While nobody knows what the future holds, we do know the team will wear some slick alternate threads this season.

The Badgers released a look at their alternate uniforms for the September 6th match up against Notre Dame at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
While I'm not generally a huge fan of alternate uniforms, I must admit that these are pretty cool.

I have to admit that the Culver's patch goes insanely hard. Is there anything more Wisconsin than Badgers football and Culver's?

Throw in the fact it celebrates America 250, and it couldn't be better. It's like it was made in a lab for the people of Wisconsin. I give these alternate uniforms a solid A-grade.

Now, will the Badgers actually be any good this year? Time will tell, but at least they'll look good if they're getting blown out by the Fighting Irish. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
